Revamped Domain Management Interface

Posted on by admin

After revamping our website, the next interface that went under the LogicBoxes’ design knife is our Domain Management Interface.

Being one of the most-frequented sections of the control panel, we decided to revamp this interface first. And with the new design, there are a lot of things that we’ve polished and improved – namely:

1. Easy access to all of a Domain’s associated web products within the same page
2. Domain Contact Management has been made simpler
3. Locking and Suspension of Domains can now be done from the same place
4. Better visibility and handling of pending payments
5. Child Name Servers are relatively easier to create and change
6. Strategically located “Renew” button to help your customer renew easily

This is currently live in OrderBox and you can login to your OrderBox account to get a first-hand glance at the same today.

Have any feedback or suggestions on our new interface?

ICANN Formalizes Relationships with ccTLD Manager for Niue

Posted on by admin

ICANN announced today that it has signed an Accountability Framework with the country code top level domain (ccTLD) manager for .nu—Niue, Internet Users Society Niue (IUS-N).

The Accountability Framework program provides two mechanisms by which ccTLD managers can formalise their relationship with ICANN. The first is an Accountability Framework document that sets out the obligations of a ccTLD manager and ICANN. It also covers dispute resolution and termination and is designed for ccTLD managers requiring a formal document with ICANN.

The second mechanism is an exchange of letters between ICANN and the ccTLD manager designed for those for whom a simple statement of commitment is more appropriate.

Signed accountability framework and exchange of letters documents can be found at http://www.icann.org/cctlds/agreements.html.
